which 2 foot T5 would you guys/gals recommend?

I have a cabinet 3 feet wide x 2 feet deep x 6 feet tall

I already have 400 watt HID but i am wanting to mimic the supercloset setup and have a veg area on the bottom of the cabinet. WHich 2 foot T5 would you all recommend?
thank you

Get an 8 light, not a 4 light.....the 4 light ( 8000 lumens ) will give you such small internodal spacing ( which isn't a bad thing depending on your grow preferences, ie SCROG, LST, FIM, etc ) that it can be maddening.......just get an 8 light....

Would do either 8 Bulb or 6 Bulb, Whichever you can fit. As for brand, you could go with SunBlaze (Which I run), Quantum, Hydrofarm)

Hydrofarm but the brown ones it's the top of the line one they got like mine it's good with 2 switches

SunBlaze is nice because you can run however many bulbs you want.

I am thinking about 2 plants in this cabinet. I was thinking of the this one here http://www.ehydroponics.com/cap-maxlume-t5-26

you want onethat has good individual bulb reflectors i cant tell if that one has it or not, remember you get what you pay for so something double that might last longer

8 bulb won't fit my cabinet

will a six bulb?

screw that, id go with dual 125w cfls and hang em veritcal or just hang em regular but that would be best bet i think or are you trying to go par?

well I started off at $89 for a 4 bulb from home depot. But I am guessing no more than $200

dude that tek 5 4 bulb is 20,000 lumens, and would be perfect for you, its 139.99 and comes with the bulbs, add 4 more bulbs for 27$ that is still under 200$ if i had money id pick one up roght now

that shit is 4000 lumens more than a 2foot 8 bulb and is only 4 bulbs

hmm maybe I better look into that one. Should fit the cabinet
